The tower is 130 feet from the house, the cables coming down from the 
crank up, off the tower into a cabinet where the different 
polyphasers are affixed to the bussbar & ground lines to the 9 ground 
rods on radials,,,,

my question :  at he house i have redundant polyphasers ( already own 
them )...on another set of 5 ground rods at the house...    would you 
think it makes much difference whether the protection devices( 
assuming an induced wave) need to be outside... this stuff is going 
in this week ,,,I was just thinking of putting the second set 
inside,,,, the wall is cement board.......shouldn't burn"

tnx
